Peacock blue Parijatham Vegan premium kanchi brocade silk saree LA25920

1. Jewellery: Harmonizing Gold and Pastels

The richness of the brocade weave and the softness of the pastel accents require jewellery that can bridge these two elements.

• Go for Heritage Gold: Since this is a Kanchi brocade, Antique Gold or Temple Jewellery will always be the perfect match. Choose pieces with subtle enamel work (meenakari) or delicate pearl accents to echo the softness of the pastel colours.

• The Power of Contrast: If you want a modern touch, use the pastel blouse and pallu as your cue to introduce Kundan or Polki sets that feature delicate Rose Quartz, Amethyst, or light Sapphire stones. These gentle hues will beautifully pick up the pastel contrast.

• Neckline Strategy: If the blouse has a simple neckline, opt for a heavy choker and earring set. If the blouse has a high neck or elaborate work, wear only large, statement jhumkas or chandbalis to keep the focus on the saree's texture.

2. Blouse Styling: Defining the Contrast

The contrast pastel blouse is key to making this saree feel fresh and contemporary.

• Fabric Play: If the blouse fabric allows, choose a cut that feels classic but refined. Elbow-length sleeves are universally flattering and provide a canvas for a lovely border if the fabric has one.

• Modernizing the Look: For a less traditional event, a deep U-back, an elegant boat neck, or even a princess-cut blouse will look sophisticated. The pastel colour itself offers a soft glow, so let the tailoring shine.

• Tassel Details: Adding small, decorative gold or silk tassels in the contrasting pastel shade to the back ties of the blouse can be a charming finishing touch.

3. Draping Technique: Showcasing Texture and Tone

The drape should respect the saree's premium weight while letting the contrasting pallu shine.

• Crisp Pleats: Ensure your pleats are neat, narrow, and perfectly aligned at the centre. The premium vegan silk and brocade weave provide enough structure to hold the pleats beautifully.

• Pallu Focus: Given the beautiful rich weave pastel pallu, it's best worn with an open, sweeping drape that extends across the back. This allows the intricacy of the weave and the soft pastel colour to be fully appreciated.

• Palla Length: Ensure the pallu falls to at least calf-length to show off the entire design without being cumbersome.

4. Hair & Makeup: Romantic and Luminous

The 'Parijatham' name suggests a romantic, graceful feel.

• Hair: A loose, low bun adorned with fresh flowers (like white parijatham or pink roses) or a jewelled hair clip is perfect. For a softer look, wear loose curls or soft waves swept to one side.

• Makeup: Opt for a luminous, dewy base that catches the light. Use warm, soft eyeshadows (like champagne or soft bronze) on the eyes. Finish with a soft pink or peach lipstick/gloss that perfectly matches the delicate pastel tones in the pallu and blouse.

5. Footwear & Accessories

• Footwear: Choose heels in metallic gold or nude to elongate your frame and match the richness of the brocade. Avoid any colour that competes with the pastel accents.

• Bag: Carry a small, ornate potli bag or a rigid clutch featuring subtle embroidery or beadwork that ties in the main saree colour and the pastel contrast.
